Anthony-123&nbsp;with the business management system at my company we have several hundred pages. Due to the way SharePoint has always done numbering we use the numbering system C01-01, C01-02, C01-03, C02-01, C02-02,C02-03 etc etc.&nbsp;RobLos GallardosIntranet, SharePoint and Power Platform Manager (and classic 1967 Morris Traveller driver)

So you're saying because SharePoint can't simply sort by numbers like every other system, it's advisable to rename all our documents.Sure. That makes sense, MICROSOFT.

Anthony-123&nbsp;well given that Microsoft haven't changed the ordering system in the last 20 years then....yes. Much easier to do that than wait for another 20 years for something that might not happen.&nbsp;RobLos GallardosIntranet, SharePoint and Power Platform Manager (and classic 1967 Morris Traveller driver)

This looks normal to me... what software are you using that let you sort a basic string column by number?
